飲茶 Yam Cha, originally uploaded by LITMK. Yesterday Tony, Jay, and I went to a vegetarian yamcha (dimsam) restaurant.

On Monday I went to one of those abandoned buildings in Guangzhou. I got to see how the squatters live and what the insides of one of those buildings actually looks like. It’s not as bad as you might think. They have running water and what seemed to be electricity. Of course this was only one . . . → Read More: The Derelict This school year is almost over!
